DangerousBeans Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Looking very nice there, I especially like the specialists cloak. All I'd suggest is doing a subtle bit of shading to the fleshy areas to seperate them from the clothes and create a bit more contrast. Can't hardly see Vik's chebs..........

LonelyPath Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Some nice painting there, my favourite detail has to be Vik's hair though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Rebel Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Yeah I was looking at the way some other users have done the skin and it has much more depth to it, I'm going to have to go back over it, I think the flash of the camera also blurred out some of the skin. Thanks for the comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoeRender Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 so far looking good , how long you been painting ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twenty4seven Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Damn nice bases on the Lady J crew I haven't seen those yet. What is that one death marshal standing on, a piece of sheet metal? That's awesome! I've gotta check those out tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is that one death marshal standing on, a piece of sheet metal? That's awesome! I've gotta check those out tomorrow. Yessir, just a peice of sheet metal from the bits box. I think I'm going to add skulls and such as well. @FoeRender - I've been painting on and off for about 8 years, but I'm still attempting to improve on smooth transitions. It seems a lot of my highlights and the skin tones have too obvious highlights that stand out a bit - mostly because I hardly ever water down my paints much and paint over black primer vs white or grey. I started the blog to keep myself motivated, but also to see how things improve after I learn new techniques. In the past I would paint just to get things looking good for games, now I think I am painting more for the joy of painting and having a good looking model than just to have everything painted. If anyone has a tutorial with pictures on shadowing and highlighting light skin tones using GW paints, I'd really appreciate it. My transitions aren't very smooth at all and don't look natural.

mbowsher76 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 I really like Victoria and the Desperate Mercenary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Rebel Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 I really like Victoria and the Desperate Mercenary. Thanks man, ended up giving all my minis with skin showing a wash of Gryphonne Sepia and some Elf Flesh highlights, look a bit better, but I think with my Justice box I'm going to look for a different technique. The Desperate Merc is probobly my favorite mini I've done so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAGabriel Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Tutorials for skin, faces and eyes here http://massivevoodoo.blogspot.com/2009/10/tutorial-overview.html under special topics. Sometimes you have to translate the colors from Vallejo to gw, but the principles are to the point. Well done so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
